- The Thomas A. Edison Album by Lawrence Frost (first edition, 1969). Hardbound with jacket and plastic protector. Excellent condition. $15
- The Fabulous Phonograph by Roland Gelatt. Softcover, 1977 edition. Some light foxing on page edges, overall very good. $12
SOLD - Berliner Gramophone Records in America by Paul Charosh. Paperback, 2012. Covers are slightly curled but otherwise excellent. $20
SOLD - Hand-Cranked Phonographs by Neil Maken (1993). Small hardbound book, 87 pages, with jacket and plastic protector. Very good. $9.
SOLD - Phonographics by Arnold Schwartzman (Chronicle Books, 1993). Softcover, 120 pages, with slip cover. Lots of color photos of paraphernalia. $15
SOLD - A Portfolio of Early Phonographs by Lawrence Schlick (spiral bound, 1969). 50 large-format pages of full-size B&W photos. Once upon a time, this was a "go-to" reference for collectors. Very hard to find. Very fine condition overall. $30.
- Talking Machines, by V.K. Chew (softbound, 1981 edition of a book originally published in 1967). 80 pages of B&W photos and text. This was another "go-to" reference in the early days, but it is a bit "fact-challenged" by today's standards. Still fun for the pictures. $12
SOLD - Edison Blue Amberol Recordings 1912-1914 by Ron Dethlefson (1980). Hardbound, 206 pages, autographed and numbered (#84 of 500 printed). Very slight scuffing on the edges of the spine, otherwise very fine. $30
